Designs for morning laces with garlands of flowers and leaves
Page of book containing 185 leaves with a collection of lithographs, aquatints, engravings, and other media, with ornamental designs published by Fleury Chavant in Paris, part of the publication "Guide du Dessinateur de l'industrie: une macédoine de dessins variés , tels que fleurs, ornemens, etc. ... Ouvrage destiné aux fabricants et dessinateurs de soieries... et Papiers Peints..." This plate contains three designs for laces: the first is made up of a stylized flower, standing on pairs of leaves and flanked to the sides by long, scrolling leaves, which begin a strip of small, stylized leaves that form the lower border of the design, upon which are thin scrolling, looping branches with stylized leaves and flowers, and three-leaf clovers. The second design is made up of thin, interlacing branches with stylized tulips, heart-shaped flowers, and rosettes with heart-shaped petaloids. The third design is made up of interlacing branches with stylized flowers with trefoil petaloids and bundles of stylized, round fruits. The designs are executed with black ink on thin, light brown paper.
